Love Advice

As I was cleaning up the office over the weekend I went through the stack of cards that Husbie and I received on our wedding day from our loved ones, and I came across a handwritten poem on a wisp of paper from my Grandmother that I completely forgot about! It is quite charming and has since been framed and displayed in our office as a reminder of both my Grandmother and our wedding day. I thought I’d share it here:

Where there is love the heart is lightWhere there is love the day is brightWhere there is love there is a songLove changes darkness into lightAnd makes the heart take wingless flightOh blessed are they who walk in loveThey also walk with God above – And when you walk with God each dayAnd kneel together when you prayYour marriage will be truly blessedAnd God will be your daily guest – And love that once seemed yours aloneGod gently blends into His own.

The imagery of a heart taking wingless flight really appeals to me and makes me smile, for that is exactly how Husbie makes me feel. Thanks for sharing this poem with me Grandma! A final thought – people sure don’t use cursive writing enough anymore.
